Question asked purely out of curiosity. I've been using the TechNet library for a helluva long time, but never really bothered taking up a subscription until now, or looking more closely at the subscriber benefits.
Browsing the Downloads section I've noticed that, for current and previous OS versions, there are numerous different downloads listed. Original release ISOs, Service Pack integrated ISOs, other version and license type ISOs etc etc...
How does that all work?
Just curious is all. I'll find out for myself soon enough I guess, when my subscription is processed and becomes active. But it's better to get an answer when the question becomes apparent than it is to wait for an answer

How does that all work?
- Do some of those not appear available for download with a, for example, current 'Direct' subscription.
- Do things such as the 'N' versions not appear unless you are located within the region they are relevent to?
- Does the downloading of different ISOs get accompanied by the issuing of separate keys?
